"Everything I said is true, because I rarely kill cats with owners. I was afraid that causing trouble would attract the attention of your heavenly guards. I didn't expect that your heavenly guards came in the end."
The giant black rat looked at Shu Guan pleadingly.
"And I have never practiced any Taoist skills at all. I am a wild demon, and no one has taught me any Taoist skills. That is the head-lowering technique. This is the first time I have heard of it."
Shu Guan was silent for a moment, thinking about the battle just now. The black giant rat did not use any Taoist techniques, and relied solely on the demon race's powerful physical talent to fight him.
Of course, regarding this rat demon's claim that he has never harmed anyone, this matter naturally needs to be confirmed again.
But Shu Guan feels that there is a high probability that it is true.
Especially regarding the cat at No. 8 Jingfu Road, the confusion and confusion in the rat demon's eyes just now really didn't look like he was faking it.
But if the cat in Rong Miao's house was not killed by this rat demon, and the head-lowering technique was not caused by this rat demon, then who is the person hiding in the dark who wants to curse Rong Miao to death?
The reason he came to Tongxingli this time was because of the disappearance of Rong Miao's family, which reminded him of the cat killing incident on Xiushui Street a year ago.
Unexpectedly, the real culprit of the cat killing incident on Xiushui Street was found in the end, but the reason for coming to Tongxingli in the first place was something else.
And this matter is much more serious than the rat demon matter.
Because the person who performed the head-lowering technique on Rong Miao was a mortal who really interfered.
…
Half an hour later, Shu Guan walked into Shanji Temple holding a small black cat. Behind him, there followed the black-haired rat demon who had restored his human form.
The owner of Haoji Sesame Oil Shop in Tongxingli, his full name is Hao Zhi. It is a very elegant name, and it can be regarded as a name that does not forget its roots.
In the end, Shu Guan did not kill Hao Zhi directly. Although looking at the cat heads in the underground secret room, he wanted to kill the perverted rat demon with one punch, but Shu Guan also knew that he was in no position to kill the rat demon.
What they, the heavenly guards, defend is above so-called justice and kindness.
The most important thing is that he has already violated the rules of heaven once.
Li Zhixia also said that if he does it again, it will be the moment when master and disciple turn against each other.
At that time, Shu Guan couldn't hold back at the Jiusheng Flour Mill.
But this time he held back, after all, it was the cat that died this time.
A human has one life, and so does a cat.
If you think about this matter deeply, it will make people feel very boring, and it will make people see clearly that underneath their so-called kindness and justice, what is hidden is not great at all.
So Shu Guan no longer bothered with the breadth and depth of morality, and directly brought the rat demon back to Shanjiguan, letting the master decide how to deal with the rat demon.
…
On the top of the cliff, three people were standing and one person was lying down.
Standing were Li Zhixia, Shu Guan, and An Zichun.
The one lying down is naturally the rat demon Hao Zhi.
Hao Zhi closed his eyes, snoring loudly from his nose, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Li Zhixia listened to Shu Guan tell the whole story, and then looked at An Zichun.
An Zichun, who had just used the dream-entering technique to swim in the spirit of the rat demon, said respectfully to Li Zhixia:
"Master, everything he said is true."
"This rat demon has indeed not harmed anyone. In fact, he has helped many people, but he has also killed many cats."
"However, there is something abnormal about his soul."
"What's not normal?"
Li Zhixia raised her eyebrows and looked at her fifth disciple.
"Three souls and seven souls, three souls, fetal light, refreshing spirit, ghost essence seven souls, smelly lungs, filth removal, non-poison, swallowing thieves, sparrow yin, Fu Shi, corpse dog, the refreshing soul of this rat demon is Broken."
"As for Shuang Soul Master's memory, there is a memory of this rat demon that the disciples cannot investigate, which is how he turned a rat into a demon. He himself seems to have lost this memory."
"Also, the rat demon really doesn't know anything about No. 8 Jingfu Road that Junior Brother Seven mentioned."
Then An Zichun also finished speaking.
As for the dreaming technique, it actually has many limitations just like the divination technique.
For example, it is generally not used on practitioners, nor on ordinary people with a strong will, otherwise accidents are likely to occur.
But the situation of the rat demon today is quite special. Now the rat demon is completely under their control, so there is no danger in using the dream-entering technique to explore his soul memory.
Li Zhixia nodded and then said something.
"Throw him out of Shan Ji Guan and throw him to the foot of Turtle Mountain."
Shu glanced at the master.
The word "throw" is very interesting.
Li Zhixia is a person who pays great attention to etiquette. She always wears Taoist uniforms meticulously and wears the Taoist crown on her head squarely.
So he used the word "throw", which showed that deep down in his heart he was extremely disgusted with this rat demon, but Shu Guan also understood that the master was not prepared to pursue this rat demon.
This result is no surprise.
Then he said "yes", then grabbed one of the rat demon's feet and dragged it directly down the cliff, across the grass, and outside the mountain gate.
Shu Guan slapped the rat demon awake.
"Don't kill cats again."
He said this very seriously to the rat demon Hao Zhi.
Hao Zhi opened his eyes leisurely, and when he heard Shu Guan's words, he suddenly showed a look of surprise and joy, because he knew this meant that he was fine.
But after thinking about it, Hao Zhi asked again.
"Can't I even see cats eating my own kind?"
Shu Guan was silent for a moment.
This rat demon... is really stubborn.
Especially when he is already so powerful, he still treats ordinary mice as his own kind. If you look at the mice, this is something that people admire.
It is equivalent to a practitioner who has achieved the realm of immortality, but still maintains his original intention and does not overlook the world from above.
But he still hated the things the rat demon did, and there was no need for Shu Guan to consider things for others from the standpoint of the rat demon.
So Shu thought for a while and said:
"Yes, you can drive them away, but you can't kill them!"
He shook his fist at Hao Zhi.
"Otherwise, if I know it once, I will teach you a lesson. If it happens more than three times, I might burn down your sesame oil shop."
"That's not fair!"
Hao Zhi shouted a little aggrievedly.
"We, the guardians of heaven, do not care about fairness."
Shu Guandan said calmly, and then suddenly exerted his strength and threw Hao Zhi's body far into the sky.
The master said that he would throw the rat demon off Turtle Mountain, but Shu Guan always listened to his master's words.
…
In the early morning, Shu Guan came to Tongxingli again.
Of course, Shu Guan was not here to supervise whether the rat demon Hao Xing had violated him, but to continue his first solo mission.
Yes, Shu Guan's solo mission was to deal with the disappearance of many cats in Tongxing.
But this matter is actually two things, because the cat in Rong Miao's house at No. 8 Jingfu Road was not killed by Hao Zhi, but by someone else.
So Shuguan's mission is not over yet.
And what comes next is more serious and complicated.
Shu Guan stood on the street opposite No. 8 Jingfuli. There was no light in the eastern sky. The street was deserted. There was no other person except Shu Guan.
Then Shu Guan put an invisibility charm on himself, walked across the street, and entered No. 8 Jingfu Road.
He walked directly into the white villa, walked up to the fourth floor, and walked into the second room on the left.
This is the second time he has walked into this room.
The difference from the last time he came in was that there was a woman lying on the bed in this bedroom.
Rong Miao was lying quietly on the bed sleeping peacefully.
She was wearing a blue nightgown with suspenders, covered with a thin silk quilt. Her moving body curves were clearly exposed under the quilt. The most important thing was that the quilt had slipped down to her waist at this time, so her two legs were exposed. Fair and delicate arms, and...
When Shu Guan came in, he really didn't know that he would see such a fragrant scene, so he naturally glanced at the bed. The Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung in his body surged violently, so Shu Guan quickly looked away.
Shu Guan walked to the bed and gently helped the woman pull up the thin quilt.
The temperature is still very low at night.
Rong Miao let out a soft hum and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.
Shu Guan remembered that she said that her sleep was very light. Of course, Shu Guan had made preparations for this. At this time, he immediately took out a calming charm and put it on Rong Miao's forehead.
The woman on the bed turned over and continued to sleep sweetly.
Then Shu Guan lay down, pulled out the wooden box from under the bed, and opened the lid.
Lying in the wooden box was the body of the white cat, its limbs were nailed to the bottom of the box by four copper nails more than six inches long, and its own internal organs were placed around it.
The white cat is naturally dead, but the internal organs are still "alive" and are trembling slightly at this time, which looks so weird.
Shuguan pulled out the four copper nails without saying a word. When he pulled out the copper nails, all the internal organs jumped up, like a bunch of filthy insects, making a rapid squeaking sound. .
Shu Guan took out a fire talisman and threw it into the wooden box.
With a bang, those internal organs started to burn.
Within the flames, tiny screams could be heard, and then gradually dissipated.
Then Shu Guan threw the white cat's body into the fire.
The flames suddenly became more intense, and a figure appeared vaguely, twisting and changing as the flames swayed, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Who is it! Who broke my magic!"
The figure let out a roar.
Shu Guan stared at the figure with a calm expression, without any surprises. Then he waved his sleeves, and the flames disappeared. Everything in the flames also disappeared, including the bodies of the white cats and those white cats that could make sounds. The internal organs and the wooden box were all missing, as if they had never existed.
There wasn't even the smell of something burning left in the air.
The fire of the Fierce Fire Talisman is naturally not the fire of ordinary people. It has the effect of cleansing away evil and evil things.
Then Shu Guan stood up and looked at Rong Miao, who was still sleeping soundly.
The woman, who was not particularly stunning in appearance, had a different kind of peaceful beauty when she was sleeping.
The kind of beauty that doesn't necessarily make you fascinated, but will make you like it inexplicably.
Shu Guan bent down and slowly moved his face in. He stopped when he was about half a foot away from Rong Miao's face.
A wisp of unusually good-smelling woman's body fragrance penetrated Shu Guan's nose.
Shu Guan's heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Then he stretched out a hand to Rong Miao's face, gently opened the eyelid of one of Rong Miao's eyes, and carefully observed the opening of that eye.
Compared with the day before yesterday, the strange red dots deep in Rong Miao's eyes were much denser, and each red dot was much larger.
Shu Guan sighed. It was useless just to destroy the magic medium under the bed. These Gu insects had already entered Rong Miao's mind.
Then Shu Guan straightened up, stretched out his hands again, and pressed on Rong Miao's left and right temples.
The next moment, his spiritual power slowly entered Rong Miao's body.
Shu Guan's expression was a little serious, because transferring spiritual power into a person's head is different from transferring it into a body part.
The structure of the human brain is too complex, and if you are not careful, you may turn a person into an idiot.
If it hadn't been for this period of time, at the request of his senior brother, he used his spiritual power to control the embroidery needle to tie knots for several months, and he would not have dared to try this on his own.
Shu Guan closed his eyes and concentrated on controlling the spiritual power that entered Rong Miao's mind.
The main reason is that if you keep your eyes open, there are things in front of you that are too easily distracting.
About twenty minutes later, Shu Guan opened his eyes and suddenly stretched out his hands.
And as his fingers left, countless small red dots flew out from Rong Miao's left and right temples, rapidly expanded in the air, and turned into small red worms with sharp teeth and as thick as a little finger.
These are Gu worms. Once they grow up, they will start to eat Rong Miao's brain.
Of course, what these Gu insects love to eat most is the spiritual power of practitioners, so now Shu Guan uses his own spiritual power to draw out all these Gu insects, and because he has swallowed a little spiritual power, he has become larger than normal. Much bigger.
Naturally, Li Zhixia taught him this method of drawing out the poisonous insects.
Looking at those ugly red bugs in the sky, Shu Guan's spiritual power suddenly changed from being as delicate as silk to being violent and violent.
Many red bugs immediately exploded into small clouds of blood mist and dissipated in the air.
Then Shu Guan leaned over again, opened Rong Miao's eyelids and inspected them carefully. This time he looked at both eyes until he confirmed that there were no more poisonous insects left.
At this point, Rong Miao's head-lowering technique was finally completely lifted.
"The art of lowering the head is a branch of southern Xinjiang witchcraft, and later spread overseas to Nanyang. Because my great uncle Qixia Zhenren had traveled in southern Xinjiang for many years and learned a lot of southern Xinjiang witchcraft, so in In Daozang Pavilion, Master Qixia’s uncle left many descriptions and records about witchcraft in southern Xinjiang.”
This is what Li Zhixia said to him the day before yesterday when he was watching Shu Guan Hui Shan Ji Guan.
Only then did Shu Guan know that the classic book he had read that recorded the introduction of the head-lowering technique was actually left by the deceased Qixia master in the back mountain of Peach Blossom Spring.
"So we, Shan Zhi Guan, are quite familiar with these witchcrafts."
"As for curse-killing techniques like the head-lowering technique, they usually use the integer of seven, or seven days, or two-seven, or three-seven, or four-seven, or even seven-seven. Since the one you mentioned is The poisoned woman did not break out on the seventh day, nor did she break out on the 27th. According to your description, the poison has already appeared in her eyes, so if my guess is correct, it should be on the 37th or 47th."
Therefore, according to Li Zhixia's guess, even on the fastest day of Sanqi, there are still five or six days before Rong Miao's head-lowering technique completely breaks out.
But Shu Guan was not prepared to wait any longer.
Because he wanted to understand one thing, that is, since Rong Miao was secretly performed a head-lowering spell, the person who did it only had to wait quietly for the day when the head-lowering spell would take effect, and there was no need to show his face again.
Therefore, even if he observes in secret, he may not be able to find the person who performed the technique at all. He will only wait for Rong Miao's head-lowering technique to fully explode.
So Shu Guan chose to come today to remove the head-lowering technique from Rong Miao.
After all, the worms in Rong Miao's body have begun to take shape. Every day that passes, her body will suffer another day of damage.
As for whether removing the head-lowering spell from Rong Miao would alert the person who secretly performed the spell, Shu Guan wanted exactly this effect.
If he doesn't lift it, the person who secretly cast the spell may never show up.
But if he destroys the head-lowering technique, the person who performed the technique will probably come out of the darkness.
Because Rong Miao would not be tricked into having her head lowered for no reason, naturally someone wanted to harm her.
And the head-lowering technique has been destroyed, and those who secretly want to harm Rong Miao, whether they want to find out the reason, or use other methods to harm Rong Miao, are very likely to reveal their deeds.
Therefore, Shu Guan used to lure the snake out of its hole to deal with the rat demon.
This time, he used it to arouse the enemy.
Now, all he had to do was wait.
Shuguan has always been a good hunter.
